Chinese Tangram Puzzles

[xdirtydancerx]

I've hopefully posted this in the right section!

I'm almost sorted on my Chinese New Year topic but I wanted to get some new puzzles in for the children to go with this. I can only find the Chinese Tangram Puzzles and wondered if these may be too difficult for the lo's - I have a mindee who is 5 and my dd who is 7.5. I can't find an age range out for these puzzles either :rolleyes:

Has anyone got any experience of these? If so any comments appreciated lol.

Thank you :D

We have them. It is difficult to know if they could do the puzzle without knowing the children. However they are great as an activity. You can put them together in squares, hexegons etc. Put them together to make pictures.

They are definately good to get. Ours get put away for a while and then come out for an airing every now and then.

I am going to order one. Even if we only get it out for one month a year it's something different isn't it? And you never know they may love it :thumbsup:
Thanks rickysmiths :)
